I’m porting over a Windows httpd.conf file to a linux apache server. I’m pretty much done, but the only error i get is: 

 * Starting web server   apache2                                                                                    [Tue Feb 07 14:24:34 2012] [warn] The Alias directive in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf at line   449 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier Alias.
Syntax error on line 461 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'Script', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in  the server configuration
Action 'start' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.

My httpd.conf file at line 461 is as follows:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin "/var/www/cgi-bin"

Script PUT /cgi-bin/put.py

    Looks like the mod_actions module isn’t loaded. This module enables the use of Scripts.
    If you activate this module, the error message should disappear.

    You can typically activate mod_actions by creating a symlink from the respective mods_available directory like this:

    ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/actions.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/actions.load

    The directory structure can be different on your machine, but the principle remains the same: There are available modules and these can be activated by symlinking into the mods_enabled dir.
